* `Makefile.am`: This file will be transformed into `Makefile.in` that

`./configure` will use to generate the `Makefile`.

Regarding tests, the basic aproach is to have multiple is to run some
|
||||
programs with the test and just check the exit code for those. This is
|
||||
simple and functional but you only get a PASS / FAIL per executable. To
|
||||
be able to get the individual tests results (asusming that there are
|
||||
several , potentially hundreds, of test on a single executable) you need
|
||||
to use the TAP.
|
||||
|
||||
The TAP aproach is that the executables that you use for test will
|
||||
output the test result on standard out so that `make check` will parse
|
||||
it, collect the results, and present them in a nice way.
|

|

I opted to go for the TAP approach although it requires a more complex
|
||||
setup.
